# GSD — VS Code Extension
|
|
|
|
Control the [GSD coding agent](https://github.com/gsd-build/gsd-2) directly from VS Code. Run autonomous coding sessions, chat with `@gsd` in VS Code Chat, and monitor your agent from a sidebar dashboard — all without leaving the editor.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
GSD must be installed before activating this extension:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g gsd-pi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Node.js ≥ 20.6.0 and Git are required.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
### Sidebar Dashboard
|
|
|
|
Click the GSD icon in the Activity Bar to open the agent dashboard. It shows:
|
|
|
|
- Connection status (connected / disconnected)
|
|
- Active model and provider
|
|
- Thinking level
|
|
- Token usage and session cost
|
|
- Quick action buttons: Start, Stop, New Session, Compact, Abort
|
|
|
|
### Chat Integration (`@gsd`)
|
|
|
|
Use `@gsd` in VS Code Chat (`Ctrl+Shift+I`) to send messages to the agent:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@gsd refactor the auth module to use JWT
|
|
@gsd /gsd auto
|
|
@gsd what's the current milestone status?
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Quick Start

|
|
3. Open a project folder in VS Code
|
|

The extension spawns `gsd --mode rpc` in the background and communicates over JSON-RPC via stdin/stdout. All 25 RPC commands are supported, including streaming events for real-time sidebar updates.
